When I think of Coastal Boho Style, I think about

When I think of Coastal Boho Style, I think about people who are relaxed and interesting individuals with a story to tell. People who take care of themselves, exercise each morning, care about nutrition and their environment. They like pretty things, hence the gorgeous flowing dresses and tops that you see in Bohemian style fashion stores. They frequent a local artisan coffee shop and their houses are eclectic with layers of appeal and quirky accents. Team this up with the classic Coastal look and you have a gorgeous individual style.⁣
⁣
The colour palette for this look relies heavily on whites, neutrals and natural finishes.⁣
⁣
Do you love this look?⁣

I love an upmarket classic Parisian style interior. With a colour palette of black, grey and white, the look is elegant and sophisticated. This palette introduces some warm elements to the look.⁣

If you like traditional homes, there is nothing better than an original Queenslander house. I love this neutral exterior with a crisp white trim - it makes me want to look inside. Do you love them too?⁣

Have you heard the term Campaign furniture lately

Have you heard the term Campaign furniture lately and wondered what on earth it is? Often referred to as exploration furniture, these pieces are becoming integral to many of our much loved styles. From Plantation and Caribbean style, a Hamptons look and even through to an Industrial vibe. I have some favourites of mine to show you and to help you understand how you can incorporate these into your home.⁣

Traditionally, internal trim and doors are painted

Traditionally, internal trim and doors are painted in a lighter colour than the walls. However, you get quite a different look and feel to your house if you paint the internal doors, architraves, skirting boards and any wainscoting in a darker tone. This is a very effective way of using a light paint on the walls without the look being too one dimensional. ⁣
⁣
All white homes make a great statement and for many styles, this is the only option that looks right. However, if you are partial to more of a country or transitional style, then you might like to consider mixing things up a little. I have lots more to tell you about this over on my blog.⁣

Dulux Lime White has been used on this lovely cottage with a Dulux Jade Blue front door. Lime White is the perfect colour for a heritage home. It is from the Dulux Traditional's range and not to be confused with their Limed White which has a warm pink undertone. Lime White is a gorgeous traditional creamy colour giving you a lovely white house but with a soft edge. ⁣

Every house should have a bath. Even if you don't

Every house should have a bath. Even if you don't use it, it is important for resale purposes. If you love to take a bath and if you have space, you should include one in your ensuite and main bathroom. ⁣
⁣
Choosing a bath used to be a fairly straight forward proposition, but there are so many different types to select from that it can be a minefield. I am going to show you how to choose the right bath in my latest post over on my blog.⁣

I do love a slip cover sofa. First and foremost so that you can remove all the covers and have them dry cleaned. Some can even go in the washing machine which is even better. ⁣
⁣
I also like them because you can often purchase a set of covers in a different colour. So you can either have a spare set and change the look of the room for the winter months, or if you find a sofa you absolutely love, you can use it in another room without it looking the same throughout the house.⁣

A neutral coastal palette will rely heavily on some tonal contrasts to bring interest, but also lots of layers of texture too.⁣
⁣
Coastal interiors are often in very neutral colours; a combination of fresh white, natural linens and beige and greige tones. If you introduce a touch of dark with either a deep brown or black, you create a touch of interest so that the scheme doesn't become too one dimensional.⁣
⁣
My latest post on the blog shows you how to style a coastal interior with colour and texture being amongst the most important elements.⁣
